Is 88 Energy under- or over-valued?

Valuing 88 Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of 88 Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

88 Energy's EBITDA

88 Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $52.4 million (£0.0 million).

88 Energy share dividends

We're not expecting 88 Energy to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have 88 Energy's shares ever split?

88 Energy's shares were split on a 1.365:1 basis on 19 February 2010. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.365 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your 88 Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 26.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for 88 Energy shares which in turn could have impacted 88 Energy's share price.

88 Energy share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, 88 Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.005 up to $0.0138. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

88E.AU volatility(beta: 1.16)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while 88 Energy's is 1.163. This would suggest that 88 Energy's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
